K-Tuned have taken the idea from our Race-Spec Shifter Cables and made a
new cable bushing that incorporates a spherical bearing to allow
greater movement while retaining the same stiff feel. The bushing is now
two piece with a delrin spherical bearing. This design allows for
greater movement while retaining that positive feedback. Cable bushings
have a small sleeve which is uses on certain applications inside the
larger bushing to accomdate more applications.
K-Tuned Shifter Cable Bushings are a simple and easy to install
upgrade that improves shift feel and accuracy. These bushings are
installed on both transmission side connections of the cables and are
made with solid 6061 billet aluminum and feature a spherical bearing on
the larger front-back cable.
OEM shifter cables are made with rubber bushings at the cable ends,
which can be responsible for ñmushyî or ñsoftî feeling gear changes.
This is because the rubber material can wear out and deteriorate over
time. In some cases, failure at these connections can even lead to
transmission synchronizer and gear damage. We have even seen damaged
shift selector parts on occasion.
The unique dual O-ring design of these billet bushings allows for
very slight flexibility at the joint which is critical for precise
shifting. Without this movement, binding can occur. Both bushings are
clear anodized to protect them from corrosion and we include all
hardware needed for installation. With this kit, youÍll get 2 reusable
ñhairpin styleî cotter pins for both cable end connections, and 2
bushing retaining clips.
